To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. MORGAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Antigo, in the county of Langlade and State of Wisconsin, have 1nvented a new and useful Mixin and Lubricating Device, of which the ollowing is a specification.

This invention has relation to mixing and lubricating devices especially adapted to be used in conjunction with internal combustion engines and vit consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts hereinafter shown and described.

It is the object of the invention to provide a simple device of the character indicated adapted to be applied' to the connection between a carbureter and engine as stated, and having means for effectually and thorou hly mixing the air and gases as they come rom the carbureter prior to admission to the engine cylinder.

A further object of the invention is to provide in connection with the means as stated, means for introducing oil infine particles to the mixture of air and gases which oil is carried by the air and gases into the engine cylinder u'pon the suction stroke. On

the return stroke of the piston the rings take up the oil which thoroughly lubricates them, after which the oil 'is `exploded simultaneously with the carbureted gases passing through the exhaust valve into the atmosphere, thereby doing away with all surplus vburned carbon and ash and effecting a simple lubricating means which will greatly increase the efiiciency of the engine.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a vertical sectional View of the mixing and lubricating device. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of a spindle forming part'of the said device, showing a disk carried thereby in section. Fig. 3 is an end view of the device. Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view of the device cut in a plane at 'right angles to that illustrated in Fig. 1.

The combined mixing and lubricating device includes a barrel 1 which has sutlicient internal diameterl to receive the active -meml bers of the mixer and permit the air and gases from the carbureter to pass there- 'I through. Pipe couplings 2 are mounted at Athe ends of the barrel 1 and may be connected with pipe sections which in turn connect with an engine and carburetor not shown.

A nipple 3 passes throughthevside of the barrel 1 and is rovided with a shoulder 45 which bears agalnst the inner surface yot" the said barrel. The outer end of the nipple 3 is screw threaded as at 5 and may enter the boss of an oil cup indicated by dotted lines -in Fig. 1. A head 6 is formed at the inner end ot' the nipple 3 and is prmided with an orifice 7 which is concentrically arranged or approximately so with relation to the barrel 1. Ball races 8 are formed at the ends of the head 6 about the aperture 7. A spindle 9 is provided with a threaded shank 10 which passes throu h the aperture 7 and a disk 11 is mounted. upon one end portion of the spindle 9. The said disk'is provided posed vanes 12. A conical nut 13 is screwed upon the threaded shank 10 and clamps the disk 1l against the head 14; of the said spindle 9. A conical nut 15 is also screwed upon the threaded shank 10 of the said spindle and the cone surfaces of the nuts 13 and 15 are disposed toward the ball races 8 at the end of the head 6. Bearing balls 16 are located in the said races and bear against the conical surfaces of the nuts 13 and 15 respectively.

In operation, as the air and gas are sucked .at its periphery-with a series of spirally disor drawn through the barrel 1 and come in contact with the spiral lvanes 12 of the disk 11, the said disk and the spindle 9 are rotated, and thus the vane12 more etectually mixes' the air and gas than has occurred during their passage through the carbureter. At the same time, lubricating oil from the oil cup (indicated in dotted lines in Fig. l) mounted upon the outer end of the nipple 3 passes down through the nipple and into the aperture 7. The threaded shank of the spindle 9 engages 'the oil and works the same toward the head 14. As the oil moves along the conical surface of the nut 13, it passes upon the spiral vanes 12 and as the said vanes are rotating about the axis of the spindle, the oil is cast off by centrifugal force in fine particles and is taken up by the mixture of air and gas. The lubricating oil thus introduced into the mixture is carried into the engine cylinder and operates upon the parts as a'bove stated. Thus it will be seen that a simple structure is provided for eectually mixlng air and gas and at the same time introducing lubricating oil in tine particles to the same. It will also beseen that by the arrangement as set forth Aandthe pron,V A y 974,176
